Metal and embroidery
Embroidery is an art. And like any other art, it stands for innovation and experimentation as much as you want. There are endless possibilities when it comes to embroidery designs and embroidery styles. By only using different colors and patterns, can come up with something new and beautiful every now and then. While playing around with colors and fabrics there is always a chance could you come out with something absolutely delicious.
Strange still interesting innovation in the use of metal can be your embroidery. Embroidered metal discs might sound strange, but when you actually working on them they can prove to be a real piece of work that can be used for many purposes. Simple perforated beading disks can be used for this purpose. Use the holes in the disk embroidery around them, the holes act as a guide and a frame for the design. The resulting disks are really cute and can be used in a number of crafts.
You can create as many colors as you want and a variety of designs in the disks weave. You can either wool, Pearl cotton thread or just the stranded floss thread. But normally the stranded floss thread is not a preference as it can split and a bit messy. Take care that before you start sewing, leave a few inches of the wire of the back to create a loop. After the holes you can different patterns with different colors. There is no limit to the designs and patterns that you can make. If a kaleidoscope you can up with amazing cross available each time you embroidery. When you're ready to bind the ends of the wire in a double knot.
The only one thing can be a bit annoying is that possible that for some reason the holes in the outer most loops on the disk is not as symmetrical as in the rest of the disk. But thanks to the flexibility of the designs, this is not a major problem. You can then use the colorful embroidered disks for different purposes. You can either two disks back to back to make a pendant as adding texture. This can be used as a stylish hanger, as an accessory on a bag or denim jackets, sweaters, knitted as buttons on as a runner for a zip-lock or any other purpose you can think of. If you are a little adventurous, they can be used as earrings or charms on bracelets. They are lightweight and easy to use.
The outer row of holes you can plug it to the fabric. You can adorn the substance with other machine embroidery designs. Just match the color of your wire to the embroidery, and your stitches will be invisible. This metal discs are super cheap, and come in different sizes. Happy stitching!
